The timing of Marvel Studios’ new Blade movie was announced, commented screenwriter Bo De Maio, known for his work on X-Men ’97, Moon Knight and The Witcher. Article which contains (unofficial) information Scooper Daniel RPK, according to which Marvel would cancel two projects: Armor Wars and Blade. The screenwriter questions why Marvel can’t move forward with Blade.

Blade does not yet have a director, and Eric Pearson (Black Widow) is writing a new version of the script. In terms of casting, Mahershala Ali, Delroy Lindo and Mia Goth are still attached to the project.

Beau DeMayo writes on his X account:make a movie John Wick. Give the mobsters teeth. Replace Keanu with flames, give him a sword. Vicky cost $20 million to shoot. Add $10 million in special effects for the vampires and Darkhold magic, and you have a $30 or $40 million Marvel movie. I don’t understand why it is so difficult. The studio is broken.

In 3 months I wrote 3 drafts and a dozen synopses that were difficult, my favorite version Raid where Blade finds himself defending a ruined building full of humans from the vampiric hordes of Varn until dawn. It happened in one night. Blade learns from a resident of the building that Varn is attacking him because the tenant got Lilith pregnant due to the Darkhold cult. Imagine a mix between 30 days of night and Rosemary’s Baby.

In the final act, Blade was forced to decide what to do with himself and the child to keep the Mother of Evil out of Varn’s hands. But I didn’t have a chance to show the script to the studio that took me on the project.”

We remind you that the screenwriter was fired in March 2024 after an internal investigation. The studio explained in a statement: “Given the inconclusive nature of the investigation’s findings, we have immediately severed all ties with him and he no longer has any ties to Marvel.” While the details of this investigation have not been made public, some reports suggest that these are issues related to the screenwriter’s conduct.

in turn Bo DeMaio claims his firing followed criticism of working conditions at Marvel, which he described as “civil rights violations” and a “toxic environment.” He also said that Marvel pulled his credits for X-Men ’97 Season 2 after he posted fan art to celebrate Pride Month. DeMaio has since filed suit, claiming that Marvel tried to silence him with the non-disparagement clause.
